10185 Green Grocer, new addition to modular street [News]
It’s only a thumbnail, but it sure is pretty…
UPDATE: Green Grocer is now available from the LEGO Shop.
Kudos to Anthony Sava.
I just like it because it’s pretty...
Sure, it’s just another picture of 10182 Café Corner (by Dandily), but it makes me happy.

Cafe got caterpillar
Is your Cafe Corner a bit too laid back? Too staid? Too colorful? Then mechanize that bad boy!!! Izzo did.
Oh, and in his somewhat more normal version, the sidewalks move and it’s always raining:

Hotel in Japanese is ホテル
Lettering in LEGO is a challenge. Although the possibilities of lettering in Roman/Latin lettering have been explored rather well, especially by LEGO train fans, it’s rare to see lettering in other scripts, such as Japanese.
Brickshelfer Sonix has changed the “HOTEL” sign in 10182 Cafe Corner to ホテル, which is how you write “Hotel” in Japanese (via Brick Town Talk):
While we’re at it, Sugegasa spells out “Nitro” (ニトロ) — a fitting name for his grill:

Cafe Corner Links for May 19, 2007
No, seriously. There’s enough stuff about 10182 Cafe Corner to dedicate a whole roundup post to this one set.
First of all, it’s where my own LEGO time has been going this past week! My brain is spinning with ideas for interiors, additions, variations, and neighborhood buildings. And I’ve always been a castle and space builder, so that says something about this set! :-D
Second, Cafe Corner designer Jamie Berard (that’s a link to his blog, for those of who unaware that he had one) has a nice Cafe Corner roundup of his own.
Finally, a couple Cafe Corner neighbors and variations by Japanese builders. Moko‘s house built with nothing but Cafe Corner, and Peachtree‘s Cafe Corner neighbor:
Building 10182 Cafe Corner
Here’s what greeted me when walked through the front door yesterday evening:
I’d finally ordered 10182 Cafe Corner last week, so I knew it was in the mail, but my wife understood how excited I was and set everything up so I could spend more of my time building when I got home. Yay!
Oh, and that’s why you won’t be seeing much of me around here for a couple of days. ;-)
Micro 10182 Cafe Corner by mumu
Excitement about 10182 Cafe Corner has been building in Japan ever since it was announced that a new specialty store called Toys R Us Select will be carrying this set. As Japanese fans start to get their hands on what some are calling the best LEGO set ever, it has started showing up on blogs and displays.
mumu couldn’t wait to get his, so he just made a microscale version instead:
